[teh_funnay] Only 80s Music Can Fixx America Now

3368.

The campaign banner joke has been pretty played out recently; blandishments to support Republicans for Voldemort or Vote Cthulhu: Why Settle for the Lesser Evil get a bit tired after a while.

But my knowledge of the lyrics of a certain favorite song of The Fixx and the fact that I'm tired of a certain candidate's deception without any tact and the sight of a Fixx tour t-shirt with the line clipped out reading like a campaign slogan kind of forced my hand. You might say one thing led to another.

Where It's At

This Here Blogger

Graphic designer, writer, editor. Worker in the Big Machine; the quintessential working-class native Oregonian, I drive some of the grimier gears so the Big Cats and Kittens don't have to.

MONotones HARmonize HALfway, COLLiding JAuntily. Lines Gently SHim.

This second one is more poetic but less PDX-centered, but works the Gorge in, as well as Lincoln, Grant, and Sheridan:
